Pretty Gift Bag with Dogwood Blossoms - Technique Junkies

Make it:

Spray the bag, twill tape, and lace with spray ink; let dry

Tip: Spray the items on a large sheet of packing paper- white or kraft. The over spray will make a nice pattern on the paper. The paper can be used for backgrounds in other projects when cut to size. I always do this and am so surprised how good the paper looks.

Glue the paper doily to the bag

Cut a tag from pale green CS; punch hole in end

Glue a piece of the lace to the long edge of the tag

Ink the Dogwood Branch with Regal Rose and dot red ink on the centers of each blossom; stamp on White CS. Stamp another image for layering

Cut apart the blossoms

Add to the green tag and add a second layer to two of the blossoms

Tie twill tape and tulle through hole on tag

Add tag to bag

Place a few drops of glitter glue on finger and rub onto the tag- wash hands- LOL

Put glitter glue in the centers of each blossom

Glue a piece of the lace to the upper right corner of bag

Tie tulle and twill tape in bow and glue over the lace

The dogwood blossoms add such a pretty touch to this little gift bag. I can fill this little bag with goodies and give to someone special for a birthday, graduation, or bridal shower. And, the bag could also be used to hold cards or supplies.
